Salmon: Running the Gauntlet
Examining the efforts to save the Pacific Northwest salmon from extinction, which include raising them in hatcheries and then transporting them on trucks and barges to the Columbia River a few miles below the Bonneville Dam. The documentary also details how the extinction threat the salmon faces isn’t just a consequence of overfishing, habitat loss and dams, but also from the very efforts to save them., Regarded by naturalists as one of the greatest environmental tragedies of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the systematic depletion of Pacific salmon populations seemed to call for a swift and immediate solution. In response, engineers and biologists began a series of attempts to recreate various stages of the fish’s life cycle, from spawning through death – with a life history radically redesigned via genetic engineering. This both raised serious ethical and moral dilemmas, and gave rise to a bizarre situation where the majority of consumed salmon were bred in laboratories and/or raised in tanks. Meanwhile, questions still lingered in the background about the most effective way to save the dwindling population of wild Pacific salmon. Nature: Salmon – Running the Gauntlet explores the many facets of this complex and often murky situation.
